    @___Wizz___ @JellyDunk @OverwatchNaeri But issue with currency you dont get much so its like you might as well buy it. I if anything bp strictly because my money go towards fortnite , be cheaper than addin overwatch to mix. I feel like the devs should of put earnings in bp, take out sprays

  • Dawmino_Draws Dawmino [NSFW Artist] (@Dawmino_Draws) reported

    Smurfs were never a problem in overwatch. Just tryhards. I got accused of smurfing cause I refuse to counterpick or will often zone out while playing and just die over and over and just be chill. Some people CANNOT handle my laissez-faire attitude in multiplayer games.

  • MontyPoulton monty poulton-boyce (@MontyPoulton) reported

    Played overwatch 2 yesterday and unlicked a number of hero’s. I open up the game today and now they are locked but the ones that i haven’t unlocked are now unlocked. Is anyone having the same problem? #Overwatch2

  • xcxbri Rose Scrub (@xcxbri) reported

    @PlayOverwatch It’s super unfair that LOTS of people are playing this game while others cannot. We are behind them and they are at an advantage. Why is it that the overwatch team doesn’t shut their servers off and FIX them?!?

  • danmcCoy3 THE GREAT TOM CRUISE SHIP (@danmcCoy3) reported

    They removed the phone number requirement from overwatch 2.....yeah no they deserve another week of DDOS attacks.

  • Spirit_Lyfe Solus (@Spirit_Lyfe) reported

    Really can't be mad about overwatch when servers get DDoS'd TWICE. Like come on man.

  • Sgrape4 ⛩️| 🐈Spooky Grape🎃 (@Sgrape4) reported

    im having trouble merging my ps4 account to my pc account on overwatch 2. do i need to go on my ps4?

  • riggs_harrison Harrison Riggs (@riggs_harrison) reported

    @AngryJoeShow This is kinda funny from the sidelines. All anybody was doing like two days ago was making fun of Overwatch for being a ****** game. I'm NOW everybody's ravenously sweating through the queue to get their fix.

  • Lethanako Lethanako (@Lethanako) reported

    Here's hoping I can stream Overwatch 2 with no issues. If it's too bad we can always swap games but I've been looking forward to this.

  • teezeeayy TZA (@teezeeayy) reported

    legit cant play overwatch 2 cause the lag is unbearable

  • Soldier76OV Jack Dersch (@Soldier76OV) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Broken game…really sad 😢 RIP Overwatch

  • RealMacmaster14 Macmaster14 🇺🇦 (@RealMacmaster14) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Everyone getting this error screen after launching the game... I can't even get the launcher to launch the Overwatch 2 error screen, this is ridiculous.. 🙄

  • MlCROPLASTICS v (@MlCROPLASTICS) reported

    i swear to god im going to shatter my ******* monitor if overwatch 2 gives me a server error one more time

  • pajimmyjammies Gabe Itch (@pajimmyjammies) reported

    NO WONDER OVERWATCH 2 HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS ITS A ******* LIBRA 😭😭😭

  • Catmagic_1976 Catmagic (@Catmagic_1976) reported

    @BlizzardCS the currency store for Overwatch 2 is not working on Xbox series x,can you fix this asap?

  • Relliaaaaa Rellia (@Relliaaaaa) reported

    @BlizzardCS Don't mean to be annoying but I submitted a ticket 2 days ago, none of my items transferred over from Overwatch to Overwatch 2 besides the comp skin for genji, is it because im not playing on the original systems i played on, or is it an account error?

  • desastreger Not Your (@desastreger) reported

    @TeriosGaming Then the problem is figuring out if the discussion should go around how inclusive the roster is, the meta and theorycrafting or if Winton Zap. Talking about Overwatch with strangers is tough.

  • Valcristerra Valcrist (@Valcristerra) reported

    Server issues with Overwatch 2 are one thing, they were being DDoSed and it was unfortunate. One thing I will put the blame on Blizzard for is their awful account merge system. Even though the servers are stabilized, I have no option to get all of my skins/emotes/etc.

  • SSaberTI Winged (@SSaberTI) reported

    The problems Overwatch 2 have about customization and progression would be fixed if Blizzard just put lootboxes back. Apex is very similar to Overwatch in many aspects including customization and the F2P style and it still has lootboxes and I'm pretty sure EA makes a good buck.

  • MrPaladinYT MrPaladin (@MrPaladinYT) reported

    @The_OtterPops Overwatch upgrades required an engine change. Your OW unlocks transfer to OW2. OW2 base version is F2P. Current login problems are said to be from DDOS attacks on servers but we believe its an under estimation of demand. Took only a few wins and I have access to all heros

  • bobtopp36744 Bobb Topp (@bobtopp36744) reported

    @BlizzardCS I had the issue where my account was bugged from merging my Xbox account and pc account. I still cannot get onto overwatch 2, I keep getting unexpected server errors and login errors. I thought this issue was fixed? What is happening??

  • Endless_Void__ 𝓝𝓮𝓻𝓸-3 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓥𝓸𝓲𝓭𝔀𝓪𝓵𝓴𝓮𝓻 (@Endless_Void__) reported

    //Damn somebody really hates Overwatch,this is the second time Activision Blizzard's servers have gotten DDOS'd.

  • Helramma Nichelle (@Helramma) reported

    Overwatch has at least spoken on the issue of wiped accounts and have said no player data has been wiped or lost, so I guess I will get my account history back at some point. Who knows when though?

  • FrozenApes FrozenApes (@FrozenApes) reported

    So after a few days removed from the launch of Overwatch 2 and assessing all the issues, even acknowledging the ****** DDoS attacks, it's safe to say that Blizzard were simply not prepared for this launch. Pros aren't happy, casuals aren't happy and it's all just disappointing

  • SetoTheGodWolf SetoWolftsune (@SetoTheGodWolf) reported

    Overwatch 2 already got DDos'd? Holy **** I didn't expect that turn of events Mainly im just mad about the Phone Number issue But **** lmfao

  • tokyoh___ dylan🖤 (@tokyoh___) reported

    rank system broken or sum in overwatch 2 cause no way we win 7 out of 3 matches just to get place bronze and silver 💀

  • taegifluff_ 𝒃𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊 🍂 (@taegifluff_) reported

    @HollowVessel89 @OverwatchEU @BlizzardCSEU_EN I set up my 2fa authentication before overwatch 2 and it hasn't asked me to use it yet so idk, gonna guess it'll only send it me if someone else tries to get on idk how it all works. That sucks tho, I hope that issue gets resolved for you soon

  • Catmagic_1976 Catmagic (@Catmagic_1976) reported

    @BlizzardCS When are you going to fix the ingame currency store for Overwatch 2 on xbox series x consoles @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCSEU_EN ? I want to buy ingame currency but when i want to nothing happens,it doesn't load to the currency page where i can buy ingame coins

  • malmcmal mav (@malmcmal) reported

    can we please not ddos overwatch 2? like cmon it’s barely even been out, let’s chill alright?

  • OMA_Monster OMA Monster (@OMA_Monster) reported

    @xJustEm See I take issue with the fact its overwatch 2... I can't get over it. Honestly playing it for 4 hours last night couldn't tell a single difference bar a few new ukts and the new characters. And they alone aren't enough to make it feel like a new fresh game.
